Pacify
(Published on 26. March 2024, 17:00 by SamuPiano)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The blue cages are "pacifist cages" - digits CAN repeat in a cage, and the set of all digits in a cage (not including repeats) cannot contain any subset which sums to the number in the top left corner of the cage. For instance, a 5-cell pacifist cage with an 18 in the corner could be 1 2 3 9 9, as the set {1, 2, 3, 9} does not have a subset which sums to 18, even though 9+9=18.

Interesting concept! Made for a fun puzzle which was surprisingly not too math heavy despite the ruleset

Very nice concept. You really have to think each cage out.

I like the repeating idea which is basically rellik cages with less of a size constraint. Very cute idea and well executed
